- -Oddly enough it was the light swatting Snipes who coulda got the stoppage when Lar rose only to jump his mug into the turnbuckle, a one punch double KD.
Shavers could have finished Lar but for going bat sheet wild instead of putting his punches together.
I rate Lewie over Holmes outside the top 10, but in terms of gross career insecurities falling way short of legends that preceded them, they're pretty much tied somewhere in that unholy top ten.Comment

The most underrated chin in HW history. The old guard of the boxing world has tried to hide this fact since his reign.
Any other boxer who only hits the canvas twice in 14 years(one being a very controversial stoppage on his feet, and the other getting up at the count of 10) facing all of these punchers:
Ruddock
Bruno
McCall
Morrison
Mercer
Briggs
Holyfield
Grant
Rahman
Tua
Tyson Klitschko
Would be heralded as an ATG chin. Especially since pretty much all of them hit Lennox clean on the chin.
And look at the list of punchers. Only Evander and Ali can compare with resume's.
The truth is, Lewis was too good to be true, he could fight through any means, outside or inside, technical gamesmanship or brutal brawl, unlimited amount of attributes. He didn't truly have a weakness so the boxing propagandists had to make up a weakness and blow it out of proportion. Lewis and his legacy is a big threat to everybody's #1 ATG HW.Comment
